About the Role
As an Occupational Therapist at Orchard Hill College, you’ll work closely with students, teaching teams, families, and external professionals to design and deliver interventions that are creative, functional, and always student centred. Your key responsibilities will include promoting a person-centred approach that supports student choice, independence, dignity, and inclusion in line with Valuing People, the Human Rights Act, and the Preparing for Adulthood agenda. You will deliver and evaluate specialist Occupational Therapy interventions, including sensory, seating, upper limb, and functional assessments, while independently managing a diverse caseload and contributing to EHCPs and multi-disciplinary reviews. Collaboration with internal and external professionals (e.g. education staff, families, social care, health services) will be essential to ensure smooth transitions, coordinated care, and delivery of inclusive, capable environments. Additionally, you will provide training, support, and guidance to staff, families, and workplaces on best practices in manual handling, sensory and physical adaptations, and functional skill development. Maintaining professional standards and development, including supervision, CPD, safeguarding responsibilities, data protection compliance, and active participation in audits, clinical governance, and college initiatives, will also be part of your role.
